In modern science, "energy" is defined as the capacity to do work. For at least 2000 years, healers, meditators, martial artists, and yogis across the world have had their own terms for this capacity to change. In their enduring traditions, China calls it "Qi," Japan calls it "Ki," India calls it "Prana," and shamans may call it "Spirit." Regardless of the name, it is something to be experienced more than intellectualized. An internet search for "evidence-based complementary alternative medicine" provides over 50 million links, including some from prestigious publications like Oxford and the National Library of Medicine (www.pubmed.gov). The average consumer, bombarded by advertisements and peer pressure, may not be aware of the exciting efforts to understand these more subtle energies and interactions.
Energy healing is a process of knowing oneself. This takes time. Everyone is different. Learning to feel our own energies and blockages, and recognizing the effects of our mental patterns, is only the first step in skillfully using our capacity for growth and change. You already have the will to live and thrive - otherwise, you would not have been born. By experiencing the environment of energetic balance, you can start to experience your potential for movement and change.
According to many traditions, our flow of growth, experience, and change ("energy") is blocked by habitual physical and mental patterns. As a result, we may suffer and fail to grow into our potential for flexibility, creativity, and fulfillment. My training and experience enable me to feel both the flow and the blockages in your creative body-mind. Through our interaction, you become mindful of monitoring your own "energies" as well. You can't control something that you cannot or don't monitor.
There is an old saying, "The physician sets the bone, but God heals the fracture." Despite this observation, diagnosing and treating disease of the body or the mind is the sole province of licensed practitioners, which I am not. Under the definition of "healing," the American Heritage Dictionary 4th edition includes "to set right," "to restore a person to spiritual wholeness." Similarly, the word "cure" includes definitions of freeing someone from care, concern, or trouble. We are designed to "self-heal" when our energies are not being blocked, and our minds are not troubled. When your energy, spirit, or qi is unblocked and balanced, you are mindful of your own true nature, spirit can then be in harmony with body and mind, thus facilitating self-healing to take place.
